The holiday season in Spain lasts all year round: depending on the season, ideal conditions prevail here for beach, ski, sightseeing, event holidays and shopping tours.
Tourist season in Spain
What are the features of a holiday in Spanish resorts, depending on the season?
- Spring: in March-April, as a rule, it rains, but these months can be devoted to sightseeing holidays (air temperature - +20 degrees). In May, you can already swim on the eastern Spanish coast, except for Barcelona (the water is still cool here).
- Summer: in the summer months the weather is hot (+ 35 degrees), which is great for relaxing at sea resorts (at your service - the sea and active water activities).
- Autumn: in autumn, a calm, measured rest is available in conditions of not too hot weather. With the onset of October, the temperature begins to drop (+ 20-21 degrees), which creates favorable conditions for sightseeing holidays. As for November, this month is characterized by unstable weather - rain is very likely.
- Winter: the air temperature in winter varies between + 8-16 degrees. But in the north of Spain it periodically snows and there are frosts. The ski season starts in the second half of December and closes, for example, in the Catalan Pyrenees at the end of March, and in the Sierra Nevada in mid-May.
Beach season in Spain
The duration of the beach season is early June - early October. It is best to go to the Costa del Sol, Costa Brava and Costa Blanca in mid-July - late September (sea - +23, air - +27 degrees). And at the resorts of the Atlantic at this time it is not very hot (+ 21-24 degrees). Separately, it is worth noting the "velvet" season (early September - mid-October), when the Spanish resorts are dominated by warm weather (+25 degrees).
Spanish beaches will delight you with their diversity - there are both pebble and beaches with golden, white and anthracite sand.
You should definitely relax on one of the best Spanish beaches - La Concha (the city of San Sebastian), Playa de Las Catedrales (Galicia), Playa del Silencio (Asturias), the beaches of the Costa Brava, the beaches of De la Magdalena and De los Peligros (Santander) …
Diving
Some Spanish dive sites can be visited at any time of the year. Having plunged into local waters, you can swim with moray eels, sea bass and eagles, dorado fish, dolphins, stingrays, and whales. Plus, you can sail past beautiful reefs, corals and even shipwrecks. For example, choosing the Costa del Sol for diving, you will meet groupers, stingrays, parrot fish, moray eels, visit underwater caves and tunnels, see underwater rocks and coral reefs (if you wish, you can go underwater hunting).
Holidays in Spain will be a joyful event for fans of shopping and noisy discos, as well as gourmets and lovers of the sea and the sun.
